Hacker who broke into US computers arrested
A 19 year-old Ashdod resident was arrested today on suspicion that he broke into Pennsylvania police computers and disrupted police databases. The suspect purportedly attempted to delete some criminal records and copy classified information onto his own computer.
The investigation into the matter was initiated after Pennsylvania police officials realized, last summer, that someone is breaking into their computers. Joint action by the FBI and the Pennsylvania police revealed that the hacker was operating from Israel.
A complaint has been filed with the Bat Yam police in August of last year. After the investigation reached a dead-end, the southern district fraud unit headed by inspector Sharon Suissa took over the case and identified the suspect.
The suspect, who is expected to be remanded tomorrow, denies that he broke into anyone’s computer, but investigators have dismissed his claims and are confident they got the right man.
